Question 1

What is BizBuyAngels™?

Accepted Answer

BizBuyAngels™ is a funding platform fueled by a new, emerging angel investor network that helps brokers and business sellers close deals faster by connecting qualified buyers with flexible, non-SBA capital.

Question 2

I'm an M&A Advisor - Why should I refer my buyers to BizBuyAngels™?

Accepted Answer

We help get your deals funded quickly — offering buyers streamlined approvals, customized structures, and confidence to close. For brokers, that means fewer stalled deals and faster commissions.

Question 3

What kinds of businesses does BizBuyAngels™ fund?

Accepted Answer

We typically support acquisitions of U.S.-based, profitable, lower-middle-market businesses, with:

Purchase Price $2MM-$10MM 
20%+ EBITDA
5+ years operating history 
Clean financials and transferable operations 
10% buyer downpayment and modest seller note preferred

Question 4

Can BizBuyAngels™ prequalify my listings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can review listings with documented diligence (typically financials, CIM and a business valuation or broker's opinion of value). We establish shared data rooms with you to assess funding eligibility and, if qualified, you can mark your listings as “Funding-Ready,” increasing visibility and buyer interest.

Question 5

How does this compare to SBA lending?

Accepted Answer

Think of us as an SBA alternative — faster, more flexible and focused on opportunity, not bureaucracy. We fund strong, cash-flowing businesses that meet our lending and investor criteria, without the red tape and onerous restrictions of traditional bank lending.

Question 6

How does this compare to seller financing?

Accepted Answer

Seller finance depends on the seller. We depend on institutional-grade systems, investor confidence, and a streamlined process designed to help entrepreneurs acquire and grow businesses with speed, clarity, and security.

We’re a faster, more reliable alternative to seller financing. Instead of relying on the seller’s willingness or informal terms, we provide:

Speed & Flexibility – Quick funding for strong, cash-flowing businesses.
Institutional-Grade Underwriting – Professional standards that protect both investors and operators.
FDIC Bank Sponsorship – Transactions backed by trusted banking partners.
Managed Payments – Ongoing servicing handled with transparency and efficiency.

Question 7

What’s the process for working with you?

Accepted Answer

Submit your listing for early review (pre- or post-LOI is fine). 
We assess the deal’s eligibility and buyer fit. 
You refer your buyer or prospective buyers to us for qualification. 
We handle all underwriting, documentation, and funding — you close faster.

Question 8

What are the benefits for my seller?

Accepted Answer

Your client gains access to a pool of qualified, funded buyers and faster time-to-close — often at full valuation. Buyers are funded by angel capital that is ready to deploy, without SBA-related delays or last minute denials.

Question 9

Do you charge brokers a fee?

Accepted Answer

No — we only participate through a small share in the funded deal. Brokers keep their full success fee at closing. We do not pay broker referral fees.
